Chapter 134: In Its Rightful Place
Beast Tamer Sect Master, Han Wang…
While the expressions of the other members of the squad still carried a hint of bewilderment, Lin Su's expression abruptly changed.
He had heard this name before.
Before coming to the border frontline for the preparatory camp combat mission, Commander Nan had warned him that someone from the Beast Tamer Sect had set their sights on him, and that person was a researcher who had betrayed the alliance and joined the Beast Tamer Sect, named Han Wang.
The border frontline was, after all, closer to the territory of the Immortal Country, where the Beast Tamer Sect was much more rampant than inside the Yan Huang Alliance.
Therefore, when Lin Su stepped onto the battlefield, he needed to be vigilant not only against the attacks of beasts but also wary of targeted actions from the Beast Tamer Sect.
At first, Lin Su took the commander's words to heart.
But as more than ten days passed with no trace of the Beast Tamer Sect, he gradually pushed the matter to the back of his mind amid the daily bloody battles.
And now.
Just when their cooperative preparatory camp had been approved and they only needed to return to the border frontline to leave, the other party had come knocking on their door.
With just a little more haste, they could have left before he arrived.
Lin Su clenched his fists tightly, staring intently at the man in front of him whose face was amiable, but whose words felt chilling, and his two quietly standing pets behind him.
One of those pets had a body shape similar to that of a Western dragon, covered in black scales, but with a pair of green eyes.
The Immortal Country was located in the cold belt and the polar regions, where the temperature was already extremely low. Yet, near this beast, there were still wisps of coldness swirling, condensing the moisture in the air into a mist of frost.
A Dark and Ice medium Emperor-ranked species, Green-eyed Black Dragon.
Next to the Green-eyed Black Dragon, there was another beast of similar size.
Recognizing the familiar eight arms and the single eye on its head, Lin Su felt a slight sigh in his heart.
An Earth medium Monarch-ranked species, Eight-Armed Rock Demon.
The two Emperor-ranked species in front of him had both evolved from Monarch-ranked species.
In the world of the divine and martial arts, there were detailed introductions to these two species, so Lin Su was especially clear about them.
Just as he had guessed, as a traitorous alliance researcher, the pets of Han Wang were not merely simple Monarch-ranked species that a common Beast Tamer Sect disciple could possess.
Out in the open, there were two Monarch-tier Emperor-ranked pets, and this was not the extent of Han Wang's strength.
As a Hall-level Beast Tamer, Han Wang had at least three pets, and possibly even four.
Facing such an opponent, even Xing Yun would absolutely have no chance of victory.
Lin Su's brows furrowed tightly, his mind racing.
At this moment, the only countermeasure was probably the protective measure that Commander Nan had arranged for him in advance.

But until now, he still didn't know what that protective measure actually was.
Could the commander's tactic be relied upon?
What if he underestimated the opponent's strength, and the protective measure turned out to be futile?
He couldn't help but worry.
Standing behind Lin Su, the other members of the squad finally came to their senses, realizing what the Beast Tamer Sect signified. Tension and concern quickly surfaced on their faces as they looked at the man before them with vigilance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do not worry, I am not here for you," Han Wang spoke softly, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Lin Su's face. When he noticed Lin Su's solemn yet unsurprised expression, the smile on his face intensified slightly.
"Lin Su, how about you come with me?"
"In your dreams!" Before Lin Su could speak, Xing Yun snorted coldly, and the Black Cloud Stick in his hand suddenly erupted. The shadows of the stick obscured the heavens and the earth, as if trying to shatter and pulverize the world, and covered the man and the two beasts in front without any mercy.
"What's the need?" Facing Xing Yun's imposing attack, Han Wang did not show the slightest change in expression but simply shook his head slightly, "Xing Yun, I know you. Weapons combined with martial arts are strong, but they ultimately have limits."
As he spoke, the Green-eyed Black Dragon behind Han Wang roared, spurting out black and green Dragon Breath, instantly shattering Xing Yun's offensive and turning it into an Energy Storm that filled the sky. The Green-eyed Black Dragon's eyes carried a hint of scorn as it easily dealt with Xing Yun's full-powered strike.
"You are not my match," a strange light flashed in Han Wang's eyes, "if this is the extent of your abilities, I'm afraid there's nothing that can stop me from taking Lin Su today."
Xing Yun's face showed a trace of solemnity.
He knew that Commander Nan had left a protective measure on Lin Su.
He even knew exactly what the protective measure Commander Nan had left was.
He was very clear that the measure left by Commander Nan was something that Han Wang absolutely couldn't withstand.
But at this moment, Han Wang's words inexplicably made him feel a hint of unease.
"You…" Xing Yun started speaking in a heavy tone, then suddenly turned to look at Lin Su, his words coming to a halt.
A shadow at the same time as Xing Yun began to speak, suddenly emerged from the surface of Lin Su's body.
Had it acted?
A flash of light crossed Xing Yun's eyes as he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, since it had made its move, then this farce should also come to an end.
In the stunned gaze of Xing Yun's squad, the shadow seemed endless, continuously emerging from Lin Su's body, instantly covering the sky and enveloping the entire firmament, lunging towards Han Wang and his two pets.
Clearly, the shadow was some extremely powerful being. Even before fully revealing its form, the terrifying majesty was like that of an emperor's arrival, making all the pets present feel an indescribable fear. In the face of this power, the presence previously emitted by Han Wang's two Monarch-tier Emperor-ranked pets seemed laughably childish.
